These are the highlights of the game: •fun •no ads •no internet needed i recommend for when you don’t have internet or just to pass time. ### 1/5 — This game is ridiculous *2021-08-22, version 2.0.2* It is impossible to win, I play a lot online so I downloaded this app to play on my phone and after playing 100 times I only won 1 there’s no settings either to make it easier it’s just impossible ### 3/5 — Fun but Need Work *2020-02-06, version 2.0.2* This game is very fun to play however there are a few things I wish were different. You do not have the ability to undo a move. I have been playing this game for awhile now and my chances of winning are 4%. I wish there was a higher winning rate but overall it is a great game. ### 5/5 — nice backup game... *2014-10-11, version 2.0.1* great, something to keep for those moments.... reliable... ### 5/5 — Enjoyable version of a great solitaire game! *2014-07-04, version 2.0.1* Plus... you get the bonus of seeing the Magic Cap logo, reminding me of days where personal computing was still a new frontier. ### 5/5 — Love this card game! *2014-06-24, version 2.0* One of the most challenging, unique variety of solitaire out there. Very fun! Great update! ### 5/5 — Web to App *2014-03-17, version 1.2* Loved the game he wrote for the web with JavaScript. Wanted an offline copy and this doesn't disappoint. Been playing the web version for years. Everything I thought to critique on the web he has fixed here. Good work Greggy. ### 1/5 — Aggravating! *2014-03-12, version 1.2* Did the game developer ever create a scenario where you can win? I played 90 games in a row without winning once. I hope he enjoyed my $.99, what a waste of time and patience. Skip this game and go beat your head it into a rock instead. You'll get more out of it. ### 5/5 — Great game *2011-07-19, version 1.2* Our whole family loves this game! ### 5/5 — Played the WebApp for months... *2009-11-09, version 0* and prayed for the App. This is well worth the wait. Great transition from the WebApp to the stand alone App. Animation is great and so is the UI. For those of you that have not played this before, I've played this for months and only beat it 3 times. Good Luck!!! This App is great!!! ## Frequently asked questions about Edgewise ### What is the objective of Edgewise?
